Chemical Structure

(4-Methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methanol CAS 720-44-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 214.26 g/mol gives (4-Methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(4-Methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methanol (CAS 720-44-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H14O2 and a molecular weight of 214.26 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (4-Methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methanol (C14H14O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (4-Methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methanol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
